THANKSKIVING ADDRESS. 



Thanksgiving / Welcome llie day. It revives recol- 
lections of our American liomes and all their cherish- 
ed associations. It points the moral of our Christian 
civilization. It leaches the lesson of obligation to the 
Almighty for His beneficence. It appeals to national 
and individual gratitude. It impresses ujion all hearts 
the common duty of dependent humanity to render 
fervent thanks to the Giver of all Good for the mani- 
fold blessings lie has showered with unstinted profu- 
sion upon His children. Favored as we are in basket 
and store, protected as we have been from the inva- 
sion of painful disease and death, secured in comfort 
and afforded opportunities for useful labor and the 
peaceful pursuit of happiness, let us fervently praise 
God and be thankful. 

There are comparatively few of us Americans in 
this distant fureign land. Bui we recognise the bro- 
therhood of humanity, and in one sense a common 
kinship wilh all mankind. We are citizens of the world, 
endowed with the God-given faculties of reason, wilh 
immeasurable capacities for intellectual, moral and re- 
ligious development. Of whatever clime or nativity, 
man occupies the highest platform of God's earthly 
creatures, lie is master over all other living things. 



— s — 

They are ?ubscrvienl lo bis wi!I. His position is com- 
lijanding, an<l his duties are of commensurate magni- 
tude. His field of labor is the world, his time for work 
at longest but brief, and the end is the same for all who 
live : Dust thou art and unto dust thou shall return. » 
As Americans, we may on an occasion like thp pre- 
sent talk freely about our country. The world cer- 
tainly concedes to it greatness. We are not obli^ious to 
its failings, but we think we may be proud of its 
achievements. It is comparatively a new country. We 
realise this the more fully as we see about us here on 
all sides memorials of man's artistic handiwoik that 
dale from a period two thousand years before the disco- 
very of America. Our Hepublican government is less 
than nicety years old. It has had severe strains upon 
it. Its policy of perfect freedom to immigration has 
given us millions of people from other lands with no 
experience when they came to us in the duties of cit- 
izenship as recognized in the doctrine of self-govern- 
ment for the state. A large proportion of them were 
ignorant of letters and established in habits and me- 
thods of living unfavorable to the development of the 
intelligence and moral capacity which such a govein- 
monl as our own requires. Well, my friends, we 
have endured this strain, great as it was, and have 
absorbed the foreign clement into our body politic 
without impairing its strength or enfeebling its integ- 
rity. This in itself is a great achievement, and it has 
been effected so far with safely — though at times there 
were grave apprehensions of danger — by reason of 
the supremacy uf the enlightened influence io our 



-r 9 -^ 

country to remould, educate, and I nuy say elevate 
llie masses of those who came to us from the old 
world. So far, then, our goverrnnenl has achieved a 
success thai has helped great masses of over-crowded 
humanity from foreiga lands, hesides affording the lar- 
gest opp'jrtuniiies — how well improved you all know — 
to the millions more born upon our own soil. Again, 
there was the tremendous ^l!ain of the lale civil war 
upon our institutions. This was the severest test of all. 
I need not dilate upon that terrible tragedy, calami- 
tous as it seemed in the beginning, sanguinary and 
terrible in its progress, but glorious and sublime in 
its conclusion. The nation waded through a sea of 
blood to the dry land. And how beautiful that land to- 
day, all refulgent wllh the biight light of freedom ! 
Slavery, our national curse and sin, wiped out forever; 
the chains stricken off more than four millions of hu- 
man beings who to our naiional shame had been held 
in involuntary servitude the most barbarous; a des- 
pised and subj' ct race thus elevated to manhood and 
awarded the ptivibges of impartial citizenship and 
just equality before the law : oh, my friends, we may 
to-day and every day of our lives (hank Almighty God 
for this sublime vindication of our free institutions, 
God be plaised for the victory, thongh so dear'y 
bought with hundreds of thousand? of precious lives 
and ihousands of millions of national treasure. The 
further lest of incorporating the late slaves into the 
equal citizenship of the country is in the process of 
successful application. They aie rapidly advancing in 
education, gradually Iriuirphing nv.M prejudice and in- 



— 10 — 

jdstice, and it is already demonstrated that from tliis 
source our inslilulions will be strengthened rather 
than endangered. Reflecting upon our national history 
the past ten years, we may fervently thank God that 
He gave us Abraham Lincoln ; we may thank God 
that he gave us heroes to save our country from re- 
bellion and emancipate it from sin and shame, though 
its blackest curse was wished out by so much precious 
blood. And now another strain our country has en- 
dured and triumphed over, as ihroteaing perhaps 
as any that ever menaced it. It is that of official rob- 
bery and corruption. I have no hesitancy in pointing 
out the source of the evil here as I would expose and 
denounce stupendous criminality any where. Tammany 
Hall, controlling the Democratic parly and wielding 
its agencies with the most unscrupulous energy, had 
disfranchised the state of New York in ihe Presidential 
election of 1868; it had enthroned a Governor in 
power by notorious, criminal fraud upon the elective 
franchise, and thus given over a great slate to the 
tender mercies of practical mob law. It had at the 
seme time east the electoral vote of the state against 
Geo. Grant by a like criminal proceeding. The people 
were not only di>franchised, but in their name a vote 
was rendered in direct opposition to their verdict. The 
conspirators have plundered the people of New York 
city by the direct and flagrant robbery of more than 
twenty millions of dollars during the past three years. 
The proof of this is overwhelming and conclusive. 
Their auilacious and stupendous thieving was expos- 
ed ; the public mind was aroused to the highest pitch 



11 



of indignation. The delermination was avowed lo 
overthrow and punish the viMains The election on the 
7lh of this month has driven the nails firmly in the 
coffin of Tammany. Such a splendid popular uprising 
has seldom been witnessed in any country. The Repub- 
licans and Democratic Reformers carry the city of 
New York, hitherto Democratic by 40,000 to 50,000 
majority, (more than half this majority being fraudu- 
lent,) by a preponderance of more than 20,000 votes. 
The Republicans elect their slate ticket, for the first 
time since 1866, by a majority of more than 250,000. 
During the intervening period until now Tammany 
has had its brigand grip upon the throats of the peo- 
ple. This, then, is a triumph in contrast with which a 
mere party success sinks into insignificance ; it is a 
triumph of free institutions over fraud and robbery. 
It is the crushing out of the most dangerous evil the 
Republic has ever confronted ; it is a vindication of 
the integrity of the ballot-box which is the palladium 
of the liberties of America ; it is (he triumphant as- 
sertion of the doctrine that the rule of the people in 
America furnishes a reliable guaranty for the mainte- 
nance of order and liberty, and the overthrow of fraud 
and criminal conspiracy against the state. And to-day 
we thank God for this peaceful victory of righteous- 
ness which will go far lo purify the whole political 
system of our beloved country. 

My friends, great disasters as you know have befal- 
len important sections of the United Slates durinof the 
past season ; but even these have had their compen- 
sutions in stirring the hearts of our people, and ihoso 



— 12 — 

of fi)rfign lands, al<o, to acis of glorious pliilanlhropy. 
The lesson will It'll upon the world in leaching men 
the highest satisfaction of doing good, and in inspiring 
generous desires and aspirations where sordid selfish- 
ness was gaining the ascendency. Let us be thankful 
for this grand demonstration of the world's benevo- 
lence, and for the noble lesson evolved even from dir- 
est calamity. 

Let us render thanks, then, for the goodly heritage 
of free and enlightened America ; fur the Christian civ- 
ilization that has taken deep root in our American 
soil i for the illimitable re>ources of our country which 
afford opportunities for the poorest not only to gain a 
comfortable livelihood, but with health and judicious 
industrial application to win an honorable competence; 
for our blessed school privileges free to all, and our 
thrice blessed religious opportunities and freedom that 
recognise the supremacy of conscience and individual 
choice, and present the highest possible incentives for 
the development of the true Christian character. 

We may also on this occasion reverently express 
our gratitude for the National Thanksgiving Day of 
the United Stntes. Previous to the war each state ap- 
pointed a Thanksgiving Day for itself. It sometimes 
happened ihnl the authorities of a state omitted this 
duty a'togclher. Now the day is national by virtue of 
the President's Proclamation, and the Governors of 
states issue their Thanksgiving Pioclamations to cor- 
respond with the President's, so that one and the same 
day is ohserved for the purpose in every commcn- 
Weajlh of ihe United States. This embraces our whole 



— 13 — 

people; il arouses religious inspirations in support of 
oatiooal solidarity ; it embraces the Union as a whole 
instead of especial parts separately. It even reaches 
American circles in distant foreign lands -Nvhcre dilTer- 
€nt slates are represented, as in our little circle here 
to-day. Thus we see that potent religious influence 
which goes out from the observance of this day tends 
to strencthen the bonds of our common Union. — 
Surely this is among the most important compensations 
for our sanguinary civil conflict. On a day like this it 
inspires each one of us to exclaim with our own 
Whillier : 

((Land of the forest and liic rock, 
or dark blue lake and mighly river, 
Of niounlains reared aloft to mock 
The storm's career, the lightning's shock, 
My own dear land forever !» 

But while our thoughts to-day so largely dwell 
upon our goodly American homes and the dear friends 
with whom we now commune in the spirit of devoted 
alTection, let us not forget the old world with its teem- 
ing millions of human beings to whom we are allied 
as members in common of the great family of man. 
We are distinctly identified as children of one great 
Father of all and over all. We have an intense interest 
in iheir welfare, and a large proportion of those 
present to-day left their bright and comfortable Ame- 
rican homes to labor for the good of these people here. 



— 14 — 

Let us be charitable concerning iheir faults and ever 
appreciative of their virtues. Let us remember that 
our own and the w^orld's civilization obtained the ele- 
ments of its vitality from this classic land. 

«\Vhcn man would do a deed of worth 
He points Jo Greece, and turns to tread, 
So sanclion'd, on the tyrant's head : 
He looks to her, and rushes on 
Where life is lost, or freedon won.)) 

Bear in mind that density of population is unfavor- 
able to expansion and progress ; with limited re- 
sources ad-vancement is naturally checked, while the 
law of increasing population is certainly diminishing 
individual opportunities. This fact cannot be changed 
by governments, as is illustrated by Switzerland whose 
political system is even more Democratic than our 
own: and yet the over-crowded and toiling masses of 
that country of sublime national scenery and of histo- 
ric grandeur are very poor ; the land does not afford 
the resources for improvement in this respect. There 
are in the old world different forms of government 
from our own. We say our Republican system is best 
adapted to the United States; but it would be arro- 
gant assumption on our part to assert with equal posi- 
tiveness that similar institutions would work just as 
well here. The circumstances and condition of the peo- 
ple must determine the question of the best form of 
government for ihem. But this general fact in respect 



— 15 — 

to nearly all Europe is most encouraging lo the friends 
of humanity. Liberal policies are gradually obtaining 
supremacy. The spirit of enlightened liberty is ma- 
king steady progress. Educational interests are foster- 
ed, and facilities are every year extended more and 
more to afford school privileges to the great masses. 
This is true of Greece as well as other kingdoms. In 
Germany universal education is enforced As the peo- 
ple become properly educated so will they advance in 
national and individual prosperity. 

I shall not attempt to instruct you as to affairs in 
this kingdom ; that would be presumptuous. Upon 
this subject I look to you for instruction. This much, 
however, I may say : This land is hallowed to us by 
its classic history and sublime traditions. We as Amer- 
icans sympathise with every effort of its government 
to elevate the manhood of its people, to inspire them 
with the spirit of progress, to infuse into their hearts 
the feeling of true nationality, well-ordered liberty, and 
generous, enlightened patriotism. This is not old Greece 
in respect to territorial limits; it is circumscribed and 
very much narrowed down. But Greece as we see it 
to-day has large opportunities for progress in agricul- 
ture and the practical arts, and lo gradually acquire by 
proper industrial effort what was so long ago lost by 
the disastrous issue of wars. I say, then, give to this 
people encouragement rather than abuse; remind them 
of faults in the spirit of charity and true friendship; 
impress upon their minds the value and necessity of 
persistent and well-directed industry ; teach them the 
true way of individual and national advancement. Their
